I run something simular to this at some of my practices. I have moveable blocks
of styrophom with markings on them (dice faces). As the acrcherys begin to walk
I would move the target Die to a different location from when they saw it last.
Instead of the commands Stop: Turn: Loose: I would call out a Die number. As
soon as the archers heard the number they would stop turn nock LOCATE and loose.
I have even gave them time limits. My Archers Love this.

Anyone else here suspect this will be a devilishly fun and challenging shoot?
Speaking of Butterfly targets...the racoon I busted in the shop tonight must be
your spy. I have made a butterfly target and it's in the testing stages. This
target will debut at Atlantia 30 year.
Esperanza and tested the new double pendulum target I made on Sunday, to debut
at Atlantia 30 as well.
You guys will see what Esperanza has been working on at Royal Archery
competition.

Sven, I really like the shoot you described. I think I will need to try this
one. Yep...I'm that behind on emails.

Hi all,
I did a shoot a few years ago called the "Duel"
based on musket ball pistol duels where two men walk 10 paces from
back to back starting positions, turn and shoot at each other.
40 yrd range with man shaped target. (we had a 4 foot viking guy)
two archers, two marshals. Archers stand shoulder to shoulder about 3
foot apart at the target facing back
towards the shooting line. a marshal is next to each archer on the
outside.
archers have bow hanging down from hand and one arrow held by the nock
and pointing up in the other.
on command of "walk" marshals and archers walk towards the shooting
line
(this was my favorite part) When the marshal gets tired, he says
"stop" "turn" "Loose"
(by marshal getting tired, I mean its unknown distance from 5 to 40
yards this way)
on command of "turn" archers turn away from each other to face the
target. (this spot is now the firing line)
turning towards the outside keeps arrow tips away from each of them in
case they accidently let the tip drop.
(I never had this problem, just saw it as a safety concern and had a
plan for it. All the archers that did this had no problem)
on "loose" archers nock, aim and fire.
there is a 2 arrow limit for this shoot.
it can be done either to the first wound, or kill shot.
I had it set up as a double elimination tourney. complete with
tourney tree just like heavy fighters use.
the first 2 shots are whenever the archer can get the shot off. first
arrow to score a hit wins. if there is no winner after the second
arrow,
marshal will call out. "draw arrow" pause, "nock, aim, loose" on an
arrow per arrow basis until there is a winner.
(I had one group of archers walk all the way back to the 40 yd. line
to shoot. had to stop and retrieve arrows for them
to get a winner.)
when I did this shoot, I had 13 archers, and about 20 or so
onlookers. it was great! people cheering
and having fun! and its a great way to level the shooting field by
having the distance unknown.
next week, I will type out my "dice tourney" rules. that is another
fun one.
Sven

I missed the Dice tourney the first time around... did it get posted and I
missed that too? (Hey I'd rather miss emails then targets :)

Greetings, Janyn!
I'm so glad you are gathering the forces for the Saint Sebastian's Prize shoot!
I had feared our little novelty shoot had gotten forgotten on the list in the
storm of interest in cog's KWAC.
We are bringing a koosh ball target, as big as?we can get in the trailer, of a
medieval octopus monster. It will be a good one to shoot at 20 -25 yards, no
closer. There will also be a few ground targets of the same ilk to place closer
in. After I paint him, I'll send a picture and what I think might be a good
scoring for the target. Have you decided on a max pts. per target yet? That
might help in designing the scoring and even in painting the target.
I was also thinking of painting a set of cardboard target faces that could be
used on the advancing warrior butts (and please remind me how many of those
butts there were?) That way I am hauling painted cardboard but not the entire
target. My trailer is already so full and the octopus will take up quite a bit
of space! These faces would be monsters from the marginalia of medieval
manuscripts, like dragons with human heads and people with fish heads. etc. Let
me know if you think that is a good idea.
Geoffrey and I will both marshal, and if Breccan gets his paperwork together,
he'll marshal too, or at least be an m.i.t.

We haven't finalized when we are arriving at Pennsic yet, so I can't make
any commitments, but if possible I would like to help with this. My trailer
will be have a fair bit of empty space this year as I do not intend to take
the big siege engine. If we end up getting there early enough I can either
bring some targets or tote them for someone else.
